Transformation

Over the year in my Degree course I have learned many new skills but the one that stood out to me the most is the paper cutting workshop.

When looking at the theme transformation i began experimenting with my camera and taking photos that interested me like the one above. I liked the idea of taking these out of focus pictures of lights and trying to transform them into paper, where I was looking at colour, shape and distance.

This is one of the pieces that I made and what I most like about it is how I have created a sense of distance. This is the start of my 3D piece as I want to scrunch these up and see what unusual pieces that I can create.

After experimenting with scrunching up my 2D pieces I found that using smaller paper cut outs created a more interesting and effective final piece. I also like how each one works really well with the coloured background reflecting the original photos that I took.
